I know I’m not the only who whose seen JI’s instagram recently and it seems like he might in the midst of some sort of mental health spell? Jaden went live earlier today and a couple days ago where he’s essentially saying that basketball doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things and just preaching on and on about his faith. The worst part about is that there are a bunch of concerned fans in the comments asking if he’s okay and he’s just berating most of them. JI always struck me as kind of weird even when he was playing great in his first couple of seasons with us but now that his NBA career is essentially at a crossroads due to his physical health it’s causing him to retreat even further into his faith which may not be the best thing for his mental health. Hopefully he can bounce back from all of this and have a successful basketball career man because his trajectory was looking fantastic until Cole Anthony came along and ruined everything on that faithful night.

The Detroit Pistons have recently offered Jalen Duren a 5-year, $200 million contract. Detroit and Duren remain at an impasse. Duren has felt disrespected by Detroit since becoming extension-eligible and being offered a $20 million “take it or leave it” deal.

Win or lose tonight, I hope this is what we look for during the offseason.

Not Trey Murphy, I want Lauri Markkanen in a heartbeat. Having a 7’1 that can easily give us 20-25+ a game is something we need really bad.

Cade and Lauri would do so much damage.
